Hello,   

Unfortunately, our team cannot help you in this situation. We have no influence on your subscription. All monetary transactions are on the Microsoft side. You should contact the Microsoft Team or check their documentation and cancel the subscription yourself.  Best Wishes,

PLEASE HELP

Please kindly note that this is a community forum, not an official Microsoft support channel. With my role here, I don’t have access to billing systems or the ability to cancel subscriptions on your behalf. However, I will support you as much as I can by helping you identify where the subscription is managed and how to cancel it correctly.

Dear @Waewrawee Kampanakorn,

I hope you’re having a good day.

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience, I understand how frustrating it can be when the program doesn’t work as expected and you’re still being charged.

Before suggesting the next steps, I’d like to clarify a few details to make sure we’re looking in the right place:

1. Do you remember which account/email you used when making the purchase?
2. Have you received any purchase confirmation or invoice email from Microsoft or the provider?
3. On your bank or card statement, does the charge appear as Microsoft / Microsoft*…, or does it show a different name?
4. Did you purchase the program directly from Microsoft, or through a website / third‑party tool?

These details are important because they will help determine where the subscription is actually managed (for example, a Microsoft account vs. another system), so we can guide you to cancel it correctly and avoid further charges.

Once you share a bit more information, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to resolve this.

Thank you again for your cooperation, and please feel free to reply, I’ll be here to help

Please understand that our initial response does not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution.  

Looking forward to hearing back from you with any updates or additional details. 

Warm regards,

Follow these steps to cancel the subscription and stop further charges from Microsoft:

1. Go to the Microsoft account Services & subscriptions page: https://account.microsoft.com/services.
2. Sign in with the same Microsoft account that was used to purchase the subscription (the one being billed).
3. Find the relevant subscription in the list and select Manage.
   • If instead of Manage it shows Turn on recurring billing, the subscription is already set to expire on the date shown and will not renew; no further action is needed.
4. On the Manage page, select Cancel (or Upgrade or Cancel, then choose Cancel).
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the cancellation.

If there is no option to cancel or turn off recurring billing:

1. Confirm who the subscription was purchased from:
   • If it was purchased through a third-party retailer (such as Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Best Buy, etc.), Microsoft cannot cancel it. Contact that retailer’s support to cancel and request any refund.
   • If it was purchased directly from Microsoft, ensure the correct Microsoft personal account is being used to sign in.
2. Check the billing status:
   • If there is an overdue balance on the subscription, pay the outstanding amount first; cancellation may be blocked until the balance is cleared.
3. If the subscription was purchased in Germany, cancellation can be done without signing in by using the dedicated German cancellation process: Cancel a Microsoft subscription acquired in Germany.
4. If cancellation is still not possible after these checks, use Microsoft’s guided support for additional help: start from the “Unable to cancel your Microsoft subscription” guided support link and follow the prompts.

For refunds:

• After cancelling, eligibility for a refund depends on the subscription type, billing account, timing, and country. For many Microsoft subscriptions, cancelling within a specific time window after purchase or renewal may qualify for a prorated or full refund, as described in the refund and cancellation policy.
• If the subscription was purchased through a third-party retailer (including Google Play or Apple App Store), all refund requests must go through that retailer, because Microsoft did not receive the payment.

If the subscription is Copilot Pro or another Microsoft subscription (such as additional OneDrive storage or Clipchamp) purchased directly from Microsoft:

1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services and sign in.
2. Locate the specific subscription (for example, Copilot Pro) and select Manage.
3. Select Cancel and follow the instructions.
4. If cancelled within the applicable refund window, a refund may be issued automatically; otherwise, turn off recurring billing so it does not renew.

If the charges are not recognized or appear to be incorrect:

• Use the Manage your payments and How to investigate a billing charge from Microsoft guidance from the Microsoft account dashboard to verify which account and subscription are generating the charges.
